My timing chip made my suit tricky to get over my ankle.

Be prepared to guide suit over ankle with timing chip rather than standing on suit and pulling.

Must learn how to run with bike on grass downhill - transition area has serious slope. Stopped for a drink, didn't realise there was a drinks station at the start of the run.
